The Musings Of The Mind

Volume 3

By Jessica TaylorPublished 5 years ago 2 min read

Release of Pity

These are the tides;

Unneeded emotions;

Dreams that go unfulfilled.

I hate what I've become;

Wallowing in my own pity;

Letting my life slip by.

They need not know;

Time to say goodbye;

Time to find my own.

There is always fear;

There will be sadness;

There will be pain.

How you hold your head

And how you rise to stand

Determination is the key.

Hidden Tears

It is only now I see

The vision within the heart of me;

Drowning withing the pits of my own sorrow;

Looking for the dream on every 'morrow.

Cool breeze brushing by;

Tears try to fall from my eyes;

I sigh with no relief;

I look back with disbelief.

My heart drops at what I've become;

I find regrets on what I have and have not done;

"Silence is golden" so they say;

As of now I find that true, if only for today.

Like The Willow

I find my heart weeping like the willows;

I find sensitivity in my mind;

The darkness within me bellows;

Pain lingers on every muscle I find.

Heat rushes through the whole of me;

Keep those tears back;

Don't let them see;

No matter the spirit you lack.

Window Into Door

Everything you seek, you must find;

Time to stop looking to your past;

Let yourself grow in body, spirit, and mind;

Make your desire to fight, last.

The window is open wide;

Time to make it a door;

Time to find yourself on the inside;

If only to become so much more.

Let not your heart ring out in pain:

Prosper with the knowledge that you seek:

Let not those around you make you sane;

The time is now and it is this you must keep.

A prayer to speak when you seem not so strong;

A hope to keep when sanity seems gone;

A fight to fight when shit gets long;

The legend of your love when you are gone.

Here is your place;

Now is your time;

It's all you must face;

To give off your shine.

Split Personality

They say words are louder than actions;

To this I tend to disagree;

For the words I speak bring no satisfaction;

They just fester in my eternity.

If my words cannot bring you to my arms

Then my actions must be able to shine through

Would you then believe my "spoken" charms

Allowing me to hold true to "I Love You."

About the Creator

Jessica Taylor

My deepest desire is to be able to help people; since I am too shy to be a professional speaker I decided that writing is my next best option. However, I do love the feel of the pen upon the page and the clicking of my keys on my keyboard.
